It seemed like no one went upstairs just now, so who came here?

Su Ziyu silently put his hand on the hilt, then quietly opened his door. He frowned as soon as he looked at him, because his backpack had been moved, and the position of the BTL82M anti-material sniper rifle had also changed a little. It seemed that someone tried to pick it up, but put it back because it was too heavy.

There was no one in the room.

But Su Ziyu closed his eyes instantly, concentrated his mind and maximized his perception ability, then stabbed towards the dark corner with his knife in an instant.

Bang.

The wooden cabinet beside him fell down out of thin air. Su Ziyu heard very light footsteps. He stabbed again with his knife, but this time he moved 50 centimeters lower. He had already discovered the thief who had sneaked into his room. The thief did not look like a human, but an intelligent creature about the same height as the goblin.

"Don't kill me!" A child-like scream was heard, and then a very short dwarf appeared in front of him. He rolled over and dodged in a rather embarrassing manner, took off his cloak and said, "I'll return everything to you."

"Please don't kill me!"

The blade stopped at the tip of the opponent's nose. Su Ziyu tilted his head and looked at the strange creature in front of him and asked, "Dwarf?"

"Hmm." The little guy was so scared that he couldn't move.

He was only about 1.23 meters tall, with skin as pale as a corpse, a slightly twisted body, short legs but long arms that were longer than his knees, messy black hair, a big head, and a weather-beaten, wrinkled face.

The dwarf was barefoot and his feet were dirty, and those marks were left by him.

"Why did you steal my things?" Su Ziyu did not take back his weapon, but took back his light gray cloak with a bit of disgust. There was even mud on it because it was worn by the dwarf.

This is for people of normal human height, and the most he can do is put it on his body.

"I..." The dwarf in front of him looked a little scared, and rolled his eyes and said, "I know this. It's a witch's thing."

He was silent for a moment.

Then, as if giving up resistance, he said, "Okay. I'll tell you everything. But you can't hurt me."

Su Ziyu glanced at him, nodded and said, "Okay. But you have to return the stolen gems first."

The dwarf's face wrinkled when he heard that. He reluctantly took out five or six gems from his pocket and muttered, "These gems are useless to you, a human, but if you give them to me, I can make powerful magic weapons."

Su Ziyu reached out and took the gem. He took out a ruby, tossed it and said, "Okay. Tell me."

"If I'm satisfied, I can give you one."

The dwarf's eyes moved up and down with the gemstone, his expression seemed very greedy, and he thought for a moment and said, "I know someone."

"wrong."

"It should be a big goblin."

"His name is Peak."

"He was my former companion. He had a cloak exactly like yours, which could also make a person invisible. He got it from a witch."

"He comes from the Dream Forest."

"You are a human, so you definitely don't know this place. It is the kingdom of witches, where many fairies live. The existence of witches is like the White Queen in your human kingdom. Peak ran away quietly from the Dream Forest, and he brought a little girl and a talking squirrel with him."

"We traveled together in the North, infiltrated banshee lairs, and killed evil minotaurs and mountain giants."

"But then they went south."

"It was said that they wanted to see the White Queen of your human kingdom. I never saw them again after that."

The dwarf in front of him was talking in a mumbling manner and looked somewhat similar to Peak.

Peak?

When he heard Peak's name, Su Ziyu's expression changed. He listened carefully to what the dwarf said, and then said, "A big fairy, a little girl, and a talking squirrel?" "Yes." The dwarf nodded honestly and said, "The squirrel likes to curse."

"The most annoying thing is that I can't scold it more than it does."

Su Ziyu continued to ask: "What does that little girl look like?"

"I don't remember much." The dwarf took a half step back, away from the sharp tip of the knife, and said carefully: "In my eyes, humans all look the same, but I remember that little girl had beautiful long silver-white hair. It is said that only the White Queen has such hair color among humans."

Winter Witch?

Su Ziyu looked thoughtful, retracted his weapon and asked, "What's your name?"

"York-Dulin." The dwarf said with his head held high and his chest puffed out.

He seemed quite proud of his name. Is the surname Durin very important among dwarfs?

"This is indeed a witch's thing." Su Ziyu's tone softened a lot, and he said softly: "It should be the cloak that Peak took away. I also know Peak."

"I come from the Dream Forest."

York Dulin looked a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Really? Are you kidding me?"

"How's Peak?"

"Is he all right?"

"He also said that he would come and play with me when he was free, but it has been ten years now."

Su Ziyu was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally said slowly: "He is fine. But there are some things that I cannot leave. I left the Dream Forest this time to find the White Queen. The witches have some small troubles and want to ask her for help."

"I see." York Dur scratched his head and said, "No wonder you have this cloak."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "I need to go to the capital. Do you know the way?"

"Yes." York-Doul looked at the gem in Suziyu's hand and replied, "But I can only take you to the Bol River, because for some reason I can't go south."

After that, he asked cautiously: "Can you order me something to eat?"

"I want blood sausage, oatmeal, and beer."

“What we found underground tastes terrible!”

Su Ziyu nodded to indicate yes, and asked casually, "Do you usually live underground?"

"Yes." The dwarf in front of him nodded and said, "Most dwarfs live underground, but there are very few dwarfs in the north, and there may be more in the south."

“I really miss Peak’s food.”

“It’s delicious!”

The dwarf looked as if he was savoring the food. It must be said that the food made by the goblins was indeed delicious.

"Wait for me here." Su Ziyu glanced at York and said, "I'll go downstairs and ask someone to bring some food over."

After saying this, he took the invisibility cloak in his hand.

This is a temptation.

If York ran away, then he was lying and could not be trusted. If he did not run away, then what he said might be true and Su Ziyu might be able to ask him for help.
